Fenix Resources (ASX: FEX) is a high grade, high margin iron ore producer located in the mid-west mining region of Western Australia.
The Company’s 100% owned, flagship Iron Ridge Iron Ore Project is a premium DSO deposit that hosts a high grade, JORC 2012 compliant resource of 9.8 Mt @ 64.4% Fe, which represents some of the highest grade iron ore in Western Australia. Production commenced in December 2020 following a rapid three-month development period, and first sales were generated in February 2021, shipped from the Company’s port facility at Geraldton. Approximately 1.8 million tonnes of premium ore have been exported to date, generating solid cash flow.
High grade iron ore attracts a premium price on the seaborne market, as a purer product results in lower emissions. Chinese steelworks are demanding low impurity ore to meet increasingly strict government regulations.
Fenix has become a fully integrated mining, logistics haulage business accruing from the July 2022 acquisition of 100% of Fenix Newhaul. This strategic move substantially reduces C1 FOB cash costs and provides flexibility to scale haulage operations to match production volumes. Furthermore, logistics capabilities in haulage and port operations enhances Fenix’s ability to unlock expansion opportunities in the Mid-West.
The Company is led by a proven team with deep mining experience and benefits from strategic alliances and agreements, including binding agreements with the Mid West Ports Authority for the use of its Geraldton Port facilities, a 50% off-take arrangement with Sinosteel International Holding Company Limited and an exclusive marketing agreement with Atlas Iron Pty Ltd for the remaining 50% of product sales.
Fenix is focused on promoting opportunities for local businesses and the community; to date, the project has generated some 200 local jobs. Fenix is proud to employ a 40% indigenous workforce and be in partnership with Schwarze Brothers Pty Ltd and other leading service providers.
